Poshie: I am glad that your appointment went well, it is such a relief to find out that your MW understands your concerns! Hopefully, you will get the scan soon.

samzi: Glad you slept better! I have not had leaking yet as such because it is more like cheese than milk at the moment.

 

[NickyT75]

Glad your appt went well Poshie hun not long to wait for your scan now! xx

 

[beachlover1]

Girls, what are these sporadic pokes, prods, stretches and mini aches that I mostly get at night the last few days in my uterus area? They go when I lie down!! I dont like them...xxx

 

[Poshie]

Morning ladies How are we today?

Goodness me did I feel shite last night! I suddenly wasn't hungry and didn't even fancy the chips DH bought home! I fancied the fish though and ate that with just a few chips.

This 'ill' feeling seems to get worse as the day goes on. I have really bad wind as well - keep burping and I have farted in bed (apparently)

I was doing the rubbish yesterday and there was some thai sauce on the side which I had smelt the day before and been okay. But yesterday, I went to throw it away and my goodness the smell was disgusting, it made me vomit!

I have times when I feel pregnant and times when I don't so much.

Just waiting for my phone to ring or a letter to come in the post, to advise me of my scan date.

 

[NickyT75]

Sounds like your morning sickness is gonna be more like evening sickness Poshie... mine was pretty much the same, I felt fine in the morning but got gradually worse as the day went on and was always sick in the evenings

Beachlover little cramps/twinges are normal hun as long as they arent too painful & there is no blood xx

 

[Poshie]

Hi Nicky :wave: the mw said that morning sickness can be a misnomer, as it seems to be in your case and maybe mine. As I am typing this I am feeling more sick. I haven't properly been sick yet though and I hope I can keep it that way!

How are you doing today hun?

 

[OmiOmen]

Aw, I hope your morning sickness passes soon. I had all day sickness with nausea and vomiting. I think it is normal to feel more pregnant some days than others, so I would not worry about that.

At my MW appointment today she picked up the heartbeat as soon as the Doppler touched down! Apparently my bump it a lot bigger than last time and my blood pressure is even lower. She also gave me my HIP forms to bring with me next time I see her. Unfortunately, with SPD they will not consider me for a home and/or water birth so I am a bit disappointed about that.

 

[Poshie]

Hi Omi :wave:

That's a shame about the home/water birth, as I assume that is what you were hoping for. I guess they need to keep a close eye on you eh

How lovely that she picked up the hb so quickly!

 

[OmiOmen]

Yeah, the worry apparently is actually getting me in and out of the pool and not having enough people about at home like there is at hospital. I did think that two midwives and my husband would be enough at home but apparently I was wrong. I know it is about what is best but I do feel disappointed that I can not try it the way I wanted because of not being able to move about well.

She picked the heartbeat up quickly at 13 weeks but she barely had to touch me with it today, plus my husband got to hear it for the first time!

 

[samzi]

The ms comes back in 3rd tri and 10x worse ive found anyway.

 

[OmiOmen]

I have to admit that I threw up this morning for the first time in about a month! I was utterly shocked because I did not expect it to happen, thankfully I had not eaten yet so it was just juice. I hope that is the last of it though, mine was too bad the first three months for me to put up with it any more. I hate the term "morning" sickness too, it must have been a man that called it that.

I am getting lots of kicks again today! Some days I hardly get any and then others it seems like it is all day long.

Does anyone know at what stage hospital tours are offered? I hate the idea of giving birth in a hospital (even though that makes me feel selfish since the baby is doing well so nothing else should matter) and hope that a hospital tour may put my mind at ease.

 

[cazd]

No idea about the hospital tours but most ladies I see on here going to labour wards are quite far on - 3rd tri plus...

As for the sickness - that's awful - here was me thinking that it just goes away after a few weeks!

 

[OmiOmen]

Thankfully my morning sickness did go but I just feel a tad off today.

I thought it was the third trimester that hospital tours took place. I just want to get it out of the way now, I am feeling a bit panicked about labour and birth now.

 

[Mrs Doddy]

Poshie yay for your appointment and hope scan date comes through soon

shmoo good luck for tomorrow

omi yay for hearing the heartbeat

 

[shmoo75]

Poshie - I am glad your m/w appointment went well yesterday hun and, my FX that you get a scano date very soon hun

Beachlover - When are your appointments hun? I am feeling abit uncomfortable today and getting cramps but, I know its coz I need a poo I haven't been taking my fybergel twice a day as they say and, I think that is the problem

Omiomen - I know you feel disappointed hun but, the best place is hospital hun. For every scary story you hear about hospital births there are loads of really good positive ones. One of my friends wanted a home birth for her 1st child but was talked into going into hospital instead bloomin' good job too as she had to have an emergancy c-section as baby went into distress. I hope that doesn't happen to you obviously I was just giving an example. On a really good note big for m/w finding the hb super quick.

I am beging to feel quite hopeful as, today is 6wks by my dates and, I have had no bleeding!!! This is the longest I have been pregnant so far! FX that this continues! Just had a phone call from my m/w and she is coming round this Sunday @10am I am going to be so tired! I have my works christmas do and I wont be back until at least 2am!!!! She also told me my 12wk scan is on 11/01/10 @11:30am I haven't even had my early scan yet! Talk about feeling like you are running befofre you can walk!

Nope! Im still sick pretty much every day & im half way through xx

 

[Mrs Doddy]

Shmoo - that all sounds good ho lots of checks amd reassurance that everything is ok ! That's good of your midwife coming to you xx

 

[NickyT75]

Im getting soooooo excited coz its my 20wk scan tomorrow & im hoping to find out what sex im having! xx

 

[Poshie]

for reaching this milestone Hun. My 1st mw appt was at home which was nice. Great you've got your 12 week scan already booked. So isn't your first scan this week?

Been feeling very tired and I'll today. Didn't fancy anything to eat but forced down some bread and fruit. Most unlike me as I'm normally ravenous! It took all my strength to struggle round tescos....I normally get hungry when food shopping, but not today

 

[OmiOmen]

I know my midwife is saying I have to be in hospital for a reason, I just feel really scared all of a sudden by the idea of labor and birth. I do love hearing the heartbeat though because even though I am feeling movements everyday now I still worry and just hearing it makes me feel so much better. Plus I tried some of my maternity clothes on that have not worn yet earlier (to try and find something to wear when visiting the in-laws near Christmas and a birthday party in January) and they all fit better (some even make me look like I have a cute little bump rather than a big belly, lol).

shmoo75: Congratulations on getting to this milestone!

NickyT75: You must be so excited, I hope your LO is co-operating and gives a clear picture of the sex.

Poshie: I hope your energy picks up. I did not get too tired in the first trimester and it started in the second for me.
